Client Testimonial:
 Back in the Game After Career Fumbles

    "I was on your website and am completely impressed, I love what you have out there and the many things you have available to help, inspire and guide those in need, such as myself.  Your visit/consult has re-energized my job search, (i.e. provided the "kick-in-the-pants")  needed to motivate and move forward. 
      Although I have fumbled through many of the items we discussed over the years, when you put it in black and white in the form of the "Strong Assessment" it rang so true and made all my fumbling so understandable. My past decisions are now much clearer as to why and can now be incorporated into my current and future decisions so the absolute best of who I am and where my interest lie can come together in a rewarding and fulfilling future. 
     Without your insight, knowledge of tools available and guidance, I would have continued to fumble. Now, with  your help, I have a  goal and a plan on how to get there.  I can not thank you enough for the wonderful opportunity you have provided for me and the clear path to help me achieve self satisfaction. You are an amazing woman."

Resume & Cover Letter Critique Services

We provide resume and cover letter critique that reviews all aspects of your
resume and cover letter including:  professional summary, keywords, professional experience, education and training, grammar, punctuation, spelling and editing, format and design, and personal branding.

A certified resume writer reviews all resumes and cover letters and evaluates them based on industry-proven criteria. The documents’ potential for success is based on three key questions – is it targeted, authentic, and achievement-based? After the resume and cover letter are evaluated, we offer concrete suggestions for improving the final product through career
coaching.

A well-written cover letter is a communication tool that complements your resume and generates interest in your job candidacy. Effective cover letters target the position you are applying for, provide a short synopsis of your strengths and skills, and end with a "call to action."  Cover letters also provide an opportunity to add information missing on your resume or explain circumstances which could be perceived negatively, such as relocation, employment gaps, or disabilities.

BIOGRAPHY – A  professional biography is a "branded" document. Biographies contain personal and professional information about your character, accomplishments, career history, and values. Biographies are used for many purposes, including press releases, speaking engagements, membership applications, and internal communications.

LINKEDIN PROFILE – Today more than ever, employers and recruiters use social media outlets such as LinkedIn to network and recruit potential employees. They actively search for candidates among LinkedIn’s members by using keywords to find people with the necessary skills and qualifications. Another way they find future employees is through
recommendations and referrals from other LinkedIn contacts.
